The group prefers to utilize their own resources to produce their music, recordings, and promotions. Black Theama's fan base and underground following is what keeps the band funded. Black Theama creates music that captures the feel of Daily life in Egypt. Through their music, they sing to to 'celebrate the black experience in Egypt.'
